Hey everyone welcome to our first new and approved with Chris Barbara and Jack Hello and you're gonna prove because no Bernie and no Gavin is that proved without bringing improved I say the Bernie Gavin what's trending right now Los Angeles they just wrapped being on what's trending with Sherlock's art I was watching in here and Angus. I went on another live show. The art show is about to start. So jealous. So jealous. Nice. Yeah, so, so Chris, how

many times have you peed in the last 30 minutes? Three. Speaking of before we start you peed three times. Are you like nervous? You don't want to go? I wanted to make sure because I didn't get yelled at for having to go pee. I'm like, yeah, I'm leaving. We're like, okay. I was like, all right, I'm going to bat there I mean it's like Timnitz like I could go get you mean I go five minutes and I'm like all right I still got three minutes. I could maybe squeeze out a little more. I Appreciate the effort. Yeah, what's it now? Thank you me in my opinion he's breaking the seal now He's screwed now. You're gonna have to but you haven't been drinking. Did you just start drinking? Yes? Yeah, he's fine All right, so we take bets on whether or not Chris could have to leave Chris will Chris is fine

I bet against me honest. I was I get really nervous like right before we went live I went to the studio next door and I try like I try every time before we live I try to force myself to take a dump. No, yeah, and it was the most unsatisfying dump in the world It's like I felt no relief from it. It's like I wanted to like blow it out in the toilet. No, like really like you like, oh there's no way I could take a dump for the next 12 hours. But no, no. Your asshole is just so destroyed from that shit.

That's like no. No, you went too far. Yeah, I did. Jesus. I'm okay with that. Yeah, I wanted to destroy that. But Chris ran into bathroom and he came out like super fast and was like there's no way you wash your hands that much on him. Watch my that much and then I said okay, what colors of soap

He's like oh and like all right That's how you catch them one when they're like oh I did yeah If you don't see either clear or pink he was white actually Whatever I mean are so no, it's the little Sushi thing story seems legit so far. All right checking out seems legit so far. All right, checking out. Okay, so we were trying to set Chris up for something. We were telling a story before the podcast. We tried to recruit the conversation. Like we said, we said, we said up the story. That's why we had that moment of silence. I was like, there was a thing that you said before. And I said, I was not going to reach

it. Wow, we much talk about that well we're talking about that looks like we don't know that was a kid uh... i was a big halvin hopspan okay in one of the comics he goes in the toilet and then flushes it and spends around because he hates taking that it's like a solution to the day and because he like tricked his mom. And so I was like, I'm gonna do that one time. And I see, you know, so I climbed in the toilet

and flushed it, didn't spin around, but still got out like I was clean. So you really got in the toilet? How old were you? I don't know. I was old enough to fit in the toilet, but I don't know. So you must have been like three months old, like at least.

No, I mean, I was probably like, did you get like one foot in the toilet? I don't know. Four or five. Oh my god months old, like at least. No, I mean I was probably like, did you get like one foot in the toilet? I don't know. Four or five. Oh my god. Two old feet in a toilet, that's for sure. I mean, you know what? We've got to be in that toilet.

It's not a prom night baby. You should not bring the toilet. I didn't know. So that's getting cut from the back. Like, when you're a kid, like you think weird stuff is a good idea. Of course. I guess so. You believe anything.

What's the closest you've ever come to death as a child? Have you ever done anything dumb that you look back now and go, how did I not get myself killed? I know I was climbing. I used to climb trees when I was a kid all the time. I remember one time I fell out of a tree that was probably 20 or 30 feet up and I flailed my arms and just happen to catch a limb and stop myself.

I'm like, there's no way. You caught yourself falling one arm. Yeah, but I'm like, a fucking action hero. I know you. I climbed so many M trees. I was probably in middle school at that point. So what 12, 13, something like that. Wow.

Like the biking age where you bicycle everywhere and go weights your bike weight. Yeah, yeah. You know where you get your I'd bikes all over the place. And then you realize, oh, God, I'm five miles away from my parents' house, which is like, that's minus we'll be in San Antonio, if you're in Austin. So when I was a kid, I had a bike.

And you have the brakes on the handlebars. And with mine, you always use the right brake, which is your back wheel, not the right brake, which is your front wheel. So with mine, the little cable would always come out of the brake, but it was like, I knew, OK, just put just put the cable back in, and now the brake works, and when the cable pop out, you couldn't break it off. One time my sister took my bike without my permission, and we lived on top of a hill.

Oh god, and she just took off, and started going down the hill, and I was like, well, she's fucked. And of course, sure enough, she got down near the bottom of the hill, the bridge didn't work, and she tried, it was a 90 degree turn, as a left turn. She turned, but was going way too fast, and like slammed right into the neighbor's mailbox. That was down there at the bottom of the street. And I saw her like hit it, and then like slip like a rag doll.

And then I just saw her like laying there, not moving. So I went back inside to my mom, like, I think you need to call a ambulance or something. Once this was down there in a pile at the bottom of the street. She's probably dead down there. So what were you saying, Barbara, let's see if your mic's working now. Is my mic working?

Are we good? Just start talking. We'll start talking. Yeah, you're good. OK, so we would take this path down the street from my school to my house. And you could get off at a street before you get off at my street. And we would go opposite ways on that street and see who would get home first, because we don't know where we are or anything like that. I would always go the opposite

direction wait till I saw my brother turn the corner get back on the path and go down to where our street was and I would always make it home before him and every time he was like how did you do that? So that could have you told him your secret sense? I did now as he's watching right now on the podcast. So, hey, Steven, sorry I lied to you for 17 years. Almost got your brother killed. I'm like, how long have a stretch?

Like, how many times have this happened? How, what time period are we talking about? It was at least like four or five years of summer. And he never beat you. Never. Never not was. He never was question that. Like, never stop.

I would get home and be like eating food. I'm be like Who's who I would love to ask you about this like you know he must have been going crazy like what the fuck How is it like he must be like she's a much better bicyclist to me? You're like you were like a Lance Armstrong for your time. Yeah, all cheating. Yeah People keep asking what's on the bottom of your screen. Oh, yeah, okay, so I think I don't know if we have a close-up shot. Just space for rent. Space for rent. So what's the deal with you?

Yeah, honestly, why are your foot's up? So the reason why my foot's up is because I don't even see this patch on my shin here. But... From promotion for our other podcast? There you go. The patch. The shin. That's all it is.

Anyway, so I was in Australia the last week. I got back, or I was in Newralia last week i got back or i was in new zeland actually i flew back last monday and uh... and then like ever since i got back to my long plane flight people like are my my leg started hurting a little bit and the last couple days hurt a lot and i was like that's not good so uh... you can't see it because it's covered but it's red and uh... and dumb me did the google thing because they talk about deep

vein thrombosis on planes and like long flights and it was just like, you know where there's like a blood clot in your leg and then it breaks off and kills you. So I googled that and the first image that popped up was like, oh, that's my leg. Like that's exactly what it looked like. It just looked like it had a big bump in it or something. Yeah, it's like a big sore bump and it was like red and I'm like, and you just flew a whole lot. Yeah, yeah, so I'm like, fantastic.

I'm going to die now. So I went to the doctor and they said basically is not that bad like but it still could be a blood clot yeah so they said like keep my leg up and keep it warm so that's why it's got a little thing on it so I should be okay I'm but I'm also taking some some pills right now that so I can't be drinking beer so I'm drinking my not really so, worst case scenario is you die. Oh, yeah. So is there a median? So the lose the leg? No, it's just like jelly.

So this isn't bad. So it's getting better already. But it's one of those things where if you let something like that go and it actually turns out to be something very bad, it basically could create a blood clot and that blood clot could break and then go up into your lungs and cause you to have a pulmonary embolism or it can go into your brain and just have you to have an aneurysm, which is like not good. So anyway, I'm keeping it on it. It's good. Don't worry, I'm alive as of right now. I think it was an NBC reporter who died of deep brain thrombosis a few years ago in Iraq. Oh shit. Yeah, like when you landed. Yeah. Just Brandon, just tell you that on the earpiece.

No. I was like, how do you know that? It seems like such like a Lies lad. I imagine you paint the almost sometimes. Yeah, but anything related to airplane travel and disaster Disaster, yeah, I'm going wrong. Yeah, I'm all about it. So I've been using cpu.com by the way That's like man, nice. Yeah, awesome. Sites still around. Yeah, they don't have an app for that yet They might but it's all you I'm always like booking flights So I just have like one window up in the other one one of my planes landed really scarily on one of my flights home This trick what like you like you went boo

Through clowns and the side of the runway But usually you know when a plane lands you feel the back wheels go down and then the front wheel This one like the back wheels went down and then it like bounced a little bit and like went back down and I was like oh fuck oh fuck because I thought it was just gonna like yeah there was that uh was it like two weeks ago there was that uh Southwest played that landed nose wheel first in New York and San Francisco wasn't it? No that was New York, Ijana, it was the one. What was the San Francisco? It was one that was a 7 seven that hit its tail on the the it was a bigger plane

uh... uh... tail going uh... but yeah so the the southwest flight landed nose uh... gear first and it collapsed did that that happen like that or was it i thought he landed normally and then it didn't broke

no okay yeah he landed nose first who wish uh... yeah little too much weight for them. No one got hurt on that one. No one got seriously hurt on that one. Correct. Southwest, I think, is the only major airline that's never had a fatality on a plane of a passenger. Except for once, years ago, this was back like,

I think in the mid to late 90s, there was a guy who would nuts on a flight to Vegas and was like trying to hurt people so the passengers subdued him and in the process of doing him they suffocated him and he died. Oh jeez. So I think that's the only death that's ever occurred on a southwest flight. Wow. They also had an accident a few years back in Chicago, Chicago, where they uh uh uh the runway was icy

and the plane overshot the runway and hit a card. It was driving along the outside of the I killed the person in the car. I think you killed a little kid in the car No, like it slid off the runway and hit this car Jesus. I think it was the only guess and that's not even someone in the plane Right, you explain these like you were there like watching you're like Wow What's the one that you know to that has all the black box stuff and all the disaster? There's been update in a few years. Oh really? Yeah, you're

All the damn time. Isn't it fortunately? There's been accidents that just aren't updated anymore When I was in LA like I had about a five hour layover when I was in Los Angeles And so like coming back from New Zealand. So I was like all right. I'm in LA. I've got five hours of kill I'm gonna walk to in and out and this is an in and out like a mile and a half away. And so I walked over there. While walking that in and out right by the airport, they have all the planes that come in.

I stood there for about 10 minutes and you could see the planes landing right overhead. And it's just like, it was like in a, was it a, a wings world? You know, they're laying on the hood of the car and looking up, it was like that. It's so cool. It feels so much closer than it really is.

It's great. Do you wanna show people what's under the bandage? I don't know if I can take it off or not. I guess if the camera is on it. But it's just red. That's all it is. It really doesn't work that. Oh, that's really an automatic. Yeah, that's what I think we do. But you can see it's getting a little bit worse. Yeah. When you'd more red than the rest of it.

When you told me that you had like a red discoloration and you went like this on, you said on my leg I was like shingles shingles oh my god my shingles so anyways not as bad I mean it doesn't look that bad but that's a good thing honestly at this point. What do you look like you're in a lot of pain today? Like walking around it's funny like as I walk around it like it hurts less the more I walk on it but if I'm off of it for a while and then I get on it again. Well it's probably because all the blood started to clog again. I guess so.

Or whatever. I don't know. What's the worst diagnosis you ever gave yourself? One time, this years ago, when I think WebMD, like first launched or something, I had hemorrhoids. I've told the start before on the podcast how I got hemorrhoids. So I had these symptoms, I didn't know I had hemorrhoids yet. So I was like, oh look on WebMD and see what I had. Oh no.

So I typed in all of the different symptoms I had, and it was like, you have herpes. I was like, no, no, I definitely do not have that. So I guess that's like close to the worst self-dagnostling of myself. This was at my personal. I diagnosed someone else once. That was my friend.

Well, sorry. So this was another like, going night. She was just doing it. She was just doing it. It was my girlfriend. I was in the bathroom. I Was in the bathroom. I think I was like first or second grade maybe So I was you know my friend was talking at some point he like turned around and it was like flashing me and Wait, what I don't know. It's like kids, you know like paying on the floor and stuff, you know whatever Yeah, whatever you know kids. I don't know it's like kids, you know like paying on the floor and stuff, you know Whatever and whatever you know kids. I don't know He's like flashing me and I'm like horrified

because I well I didn't know what Like circumcision was exactly or I knew I I thought that that was the norm like I didn't know what an uncircumcised penis looked like or that they even existed. And so I see this like I didn't know what it was. Well I thought he was an alien. Like I swear to God. Aliens are identical to humans except to have like three-quarters of an inch more skin. Like no I didn't.

I swear to God I thought he was like an alien. And so like I started doing like research trying to figure out like well He must be an alien like what other things are weird about what is first grader research? How did you go about? Well, I would be like asking him like so where are you from and like you're like trying to interrogating the kid Yeah, but like I'd be always be like asking to try and figure out like you know where is like me parents, or see what his parents were like. Do they have any other weird things that we're going on with? Do a lot about astronomy and stuff. This is Chris's definition of a misdiagnosis. He thought a circumcised guy was an alien.

Well, I don't know if anyone could talk that Chris. No. You and W. We should have a live indeed. I think Gavin or Google or Chris might be interesting. That could be like if we could do like a three-way thing. Yeah. What about you?

What's your worst? I honestly don't get sick very often. So I don't really have to look up a lot. This, this, the only thing is like freak me out though. Like this, when I looked it up, was like, well, my legs get a fall off because like you, of course, on, you know, Google ImageShared, see like the worst photos. Yeah. So there's someone like when I looked it up, I was like, well, my legs gonna fall off. Cause like, of course on, you know, Google Image Shirts, you like the worst photos. Yeah.

So there's someone like a hole in their leg and I'm like, oh, that's good. And so I just, yeah, I don't like trying to look up symptoms on the internet because of that reason. Yeah. Like everything you find is always worst case scenario. I don't like to confirm something.

And it's always like super gory. And no matter what you look up, you've got something way worse. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah. Anyway, but get it taken care of. I went to the doctor as soon as soon as I mean, I told myself if it wasn't going to get better the next couple of days, I would go and then I'd spring myself off enough to

go today. So I would have gone. The sooner the better. Yeah, and so I have insurance. I pay for it. I use it. He has told Gavin that he should go see a doctor or like it checked out because he's a lot of people.

Because he had a stroke. Yeah, I think it's just scared that he's going to find out because he had a stroke. Yeah. We should. Yeah. He, I think it's just scared that he's going to find out something he doesn't want to find out. So he's avoiding it. But my theory is better early earthen later because then it's like you could maybe fix whatever's wrong with you. But I think his, his theory was that he'd rather just like die one day than know he's

going to die. I think if you have something terminal, you know you're gonna die for a while before you actually die. It's not like you have this terrible disease. You're fine, you're healthy, everything's great. Dead. Yeah.

There's like a long, slow decline that gets you there. Well, what happened to Jim Henson? Like he died real fast, right? Nomonia, right? Yeah, it was something he just, something got a cold and then was dead like two weeks later, right? Yeah, I think it was some type of pneumonia. That's terrible

Well, there's like hard stuff that gets people instantly yeah with like no signs of anything beforehand That's right like brains pop and stuff like yeah, that's scary a connection Brave bubbles or like you mean like an aneurysm. Yeah, yeah, I had an aunt that had an aneurysm when I was a kid I thought you're gonna say you had an aneurysm. No, no. And it totally changed for personality. It's really weird. Stuff with the brain is really, really, really better or worse. I was a kid.

No, no, your brain stuff is weird. I saw a video on Reddit one time where I think it was a BBC thing. Where they were working on this woman's brain. And she had like Parkinson's, I guess, her hand was shaking. And she had her hand in the air and was shaking and they were just like trying different things like she was conscious. So like, okay, you know, keep moving her hand and it's like do you do do and they hit something in her hand is when you eat, stop.

And it's like completely stopped. Like, okay, you know, like make a piece of it. She was like able to do like to dexterity, full dexterity in her fingers again. And it's like, that's nuts. They're just like one thing like they over, they like, they like basically pass over the bad cell. So they like cut open a hole in her skull. They essentially like stick a scalpel in there like I fuck it you know what's the worst thing that she's already screwed up. I just start cutting her

home. Start poking her in. Like controller just like oh look at her. Look her legs going up. Yeah that's nuts like that the idea like we have this really complex organic machine that we are, like that's us inside. That's so weird. If you really break it down and think about it. The brain is the weirdest part. Yeah, it's all weird. Like the thing that always freaks me out

is involuntary muscles. Like you can't stop your heart or you can't not breathe. Okay, that's making me really freak out. Yeah, it makes you like really think about it. And now you're gonna start thinking, you're gonna be breathing constantly and thinking about breathing the rest of the body for us. Yeah.

Well, even so, even so, like the involuntary, like when you have a muscle spasm or your arm is like, what the fuck was that? You know, like your body is gonna do something that's like, like, or when your, like some, some versus cut into your brain and they're like, we've been as he was shit like your brain, and then like, we've been as excited, like, oh, like, right back fall asleep.

Like, have you ever heard the thing where you, like, right as you fall asleep and the first thing is like, you're falling off a cliff. And you're like, oh, like, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the,

what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the, what the and sitting next to me. So you get down to plain? Yeah. Like the thing where you go like are in an out of consciousness and then you finally fall asleep and feel like you're falling.

No, you're in a body shicks. Do the thing where you really, really have to pee. And so like in your dream, you keep going to the bathroom and then peeing and then you come back and you're like, I still gotta go. So then you go, do you have like a condition? No, I mean, you never had that dream where you like you really have to pee in your dream. I never have to get up in the middle of night and piss, I'm, you never had that January, like, you really have to pee in your dream.

I never have to get up in the middle of the night and piss. I'm not 60 years old. Do you wake up and you're like just covered in piss? No, I never, I'm good. It's always just like, because my body is telling me I have to go to the bathroom. So, like, I keep peeing in my dream and being like, that's not working. The opposite thing happens to me when I was, I think, 12 or 13 years old. Opposite thing. You really thought you had to pee bad, but you were just dreaming? I was dreaming, and I was dreaming about toilets. And then I peed my bed.

Really? I remember that distinctively. Yes, I was 12. She was 22. Still not now. What, do you ever remember pissing yourself, Jack? Like, what's the oldest you remember pissing yourself? Um, God, probably maybe five or six. I mean, that's vague. I remember one time I got sick and I woke up and it was not good. Other Nats, that wasn't P that came out.

It was very disgusting. Other Nats have been fine. And that was when I was like probably, you know, Switzerland. Yes, it's very good. When I I was 10 I didn't pee my pants but I got up in the night and peed in the oven we've grown to know I just like stumbled up and like I don't know somehow like I sure lost no I didn't like actually peel like I like start peeing and I'm like what am I doing I'm peeing I don't, I'm just gonna go to the back. Like, I came out of consciousness when I was like,

you came back to consciousness. Like, I got up and like, was just started going and I was like, wait, stop, this isn't right. Well, so did you actually get any urine into the oven? I got like the first like, did you tell your parents? Did you tell? I just like, it was just like, so they probably,

so you stopped? Yeah, like, you were able to stop peeing midstream. Yeah, that's impressive. That's actually not easy to do No, it's pretty hard. Well, I mean if you're peeing in an oven It's not hard to do It was on maybe but no, it's just like one of those things or it's just like whoa Am I doing the next time they cooked something did it smell funny? Did you know I mean I could it was like When I said your old cleaning Yeah, I went. It was like one of the things the stream started and like before it hit

you are. I was already away. Yeah, where I pulled off the trigger. So it was just like, it's like mission impossible. We catch you before it's the ground. No, I mean, it was just like the tiny. It was fine. It was all good. Do your parents watch the podcast? No, okay? Yeah, I did think you'd ever told them the story no I was gonna say I hope they do it wasn't bears at the time because I was 10 and I peed in love and yeah Yeah, I didn't even say like I didn't pee in the oven if I didn't pee in the oven I didn't pee in no, okay I was pee in the oven, but you did not pee in the oven

Yeah, just a little you peed was pee in the oven, but you did not pee in it. Why did you, like, yeah, just a little. You peed a little in the oven. There you go. Yeah. The last time I remember pissing myself, I was 14. What did you do? I was at school, and I had a test. It was like my computer literacy class or something. And so I, they would not let me out to go to the bathroom

because, oh no. You know, I had to finish the test. I had to pee so bad it was like two classes after lunch or something. Yeah. So I'm like, power through trying to finish this test. And we literally, I think you got an ace. I assume as I finished it, I pissed my pants.

And I'm sitting there in the fun class, a 14 year old. I was in eighth grade. I was pretty bad. And I was like, oh, shit. What am I going to do? So then like, the person that next to me finished their test, I was like, here, here, turn mine in for me. I was like fuck So so I just sat in my in my seat the rest of the class

Two years and then like I see his classes over everyone got up to leave. Yeah, but luckily was winter So I had a jacket So like I stood up and I just wrapped the jacket around my waist Oh my god, and then like I took off like I went down to the gym because we kept gym clothes there Yeah, so I just like grab my shorts That we're just more shorts the rest of the way with it. I got away with it. Wow. It's of the poor janitor's like why is there a puddle on The sea just sobbing with Man, that kid was really nervous during that time. Yeah, I think the jacket. I think I saw most of it up with the jacket

I threw the jacket away. I was like I cannot cannot clean this That's good. Yeah, so I got away with I jack I threw the jacket away. I was like I cannot clean this. That's good. But yeah so I got away with it. I think I ever told that story to right now. There was a kid in the third grade at school I went to who same thing it was during a test he really had to like take a shit. A teacher wouldn't let him do it. He went to the corner of the room because he was causing a disruption. Shad in the corner.

That's always like that's like it's like. I told you. I thought you told me to shit in the corner Oh Billy That kid will forever be known as the kid who's shit in the corner Oh man Yeah, I went in third grade that happened once we again this this kid got away with it

But we were taking the test and then like all of a sudden it's like shit in my class and the teachers like walking up and down the aisle So it's like anyone need to go out of the bathroom Link then no one got up no one left. Oh, it's on there. No, no one ever messed up to it I don't know if I told the story before but in college I had it. I was like watching dressie park 3 after a party As you do Party my friend had already like passed out. He comes he did in my roommate He comes out and it's just like say this is the coffee table We're sitting there watching Jurassic Park and he just sits there and stands like this and we're like hey

Man, how's it going? You just pull down his face? What's your mic? You fucked up your mic and well He just pulled down his pants and started peeing on the table And I'll like dude wake up And he's like oh, sorry wait that was your responsibly I Was your response to something The movie Watches come on I fucking told you about it so you could fix it. It's like pointed down. How did you do that? Like pop a podcast

It's like don't don't let me fucking tell you Mike's fucked up and then just say that pointing at you Look at it. He's like I thought it looked okay It's literally pointing down and then you just like look at it and you keep going with your story Oh, sorry there much better. Hopefully everyone got to enjoy that story your microphone's okay Barbara no one's okay about all right. I'm gonna tell you my phone. Is your mic okay? Okay, so that's a big reason I wear these like shirts that are button. Yeah, no podcast days. It's a lot of you about all right okay I know podcast days it's I like it

I know I stole it from you yeah same deal for me I have like the button up shirt I wasn't going to button it but it's like I guess I should it is fucking I'm a fucking mic is I know it wouldn't matter if your button did or not. Yeah, whatever. Well, it's, yeah. Have you ever considered pinning the mic to your behavior? No, for the sake of everyone else around here. No, I did one time when I had my beard really long.

We were having a Skype chat with Ben, and Gus had his laptop out. And so I actually put my beard over the edge of his laptop. So all the bin was always like beard looking through it. and Gus almost punched me in the face like he was so really so I immediately went like the white thing like the alcohol wipe and clean it up and stuff it's good yeah he was uh he was uh he was not happy with that yeah yeah so fucking pissed I was like oh the like the drippings of all the food you didn't know they just like rubbing all over what I eat it like what I was Oh, I know that you eat as well I just pictured like cheeseburger residue all in there like rubbing all over my face

Damn, and I missed oh come on. Well, I know I've had like long beard before and I'm always super paranoid I like trying to keep it clean because yeah the worst thing in the world to do when you have facial hair like that It's trying to blow your nose. Oh yeah, that's gross. Why? Because it gets all into hair. Like you don't get it in the tissue. It goes all in the hair.

I don't even think about that. Yeah, yeah. So you blow your nose and then you wipe a bit and you have to look in the mirror like did I miss any? Yeah, like trying to wipe all the needed stuff. Like when you actually grow a beard though, you have like an extra swipe. Like when you eat, you know, you know, you know, clean up your face and then you do like that.

At least I do. So like just catching the extra stuff that may have caught on the beard, you know, like lettuce or something or whatever is loose. So it makes you have. Let's see how to wear lip gloss. Yeah, let me tell you all about that lip gloss. I wear. But yeah.

Yeah, I'm trying to grow my beard out. Can I say, is looking a little darker than usual? Yeah, normally I shave on Mondays before the podcast, but I think I'm gonna maybe let it grow back out a bit again. It's been a while since I've had a good healthy beard. I miss the Gus beard. Yeah, I think I'm gonna bring it back. I saw a picture of you with it recently.

You made me very nostalgic for it. Missed the beard. So Barbara and I were talking earlier today. I think this is the first time, today's the first time I've seen Barbara since RTX. RTX pretty much. I think this is the first time today's the first time seen Barbara since RTX pretty much I saw you for like the day after RTX and I think that was it. Yeah, cuz like we were both like I immediately left and went to Australia then when I came back you left and you were at VidCon. Yeah, well first I went for

Vacation in San Diego and then straight to VidCon after that. So I was gone almost two weeks straight Mm-hmm, and then you also were gone very much. Yeah, last week was the first full week that I'd worked in the office since June. Yeah. Crazy. Yeah, I was gone like. Fuck it's lacquer.

Gone forever. Yeah. I was like, I was gone out, advanced, and doing things. Yeah, it's tiring. Did you guys talk about PAX Australia or anything down there while I was doing? Yeah, we did. We've not talked about VidCon yet.

You said you were listening to it last night as you're falling asleep. Yeah, no, I was, and I kept having, I had a dream where, like, my mom was getting eaten by little baby zombies. Like, well, it was like we were defending our lives. Did you hike up in your own house? No, no. Or the toilet. Yeah.

No, it's like I was back in high school and we were defending my house. And then it was just me and my mom left. And then there was like this family, zombies. And then just like, there's a family of zombies. Like it's in mom dad and then baby zombies. Dad gets on the little baby. That zombie gets on the board, puts his hat on the thing.

No, I'm talking about literally like a one-year-old zombie that was like, and then I looked down. It was nibbling on my thing. No, I'm talking about literally like a one year old zombie that was like, and then I looked down and it was nibbling on my mom. I'm like, ah, I should get a bite of A B zombie. That's the reaction. That's not gonna be my ass. Well, I mean, you know, I like, it's like, sorry mom, I pissed in the oven.

I'm gonna die in my eyes while I clear my conscience. But you know, they're, they're, they're fun to listen to. Like, listen to my falling sleep. I'm like, and then I just pass out. And then you have awful. I'm going to be dreams. Yeah. What's funny? Is it a wrap to where you were listening to song like a song or an audiobook and you had a dream that was relating to that? I would do I would do the reverse of it where my alarm would go off and I'd incorporate my alarm into my dream. Yeah. Like suddenly like a rock started making noise. Like why is this rock making noise? This would have been like saying yeah Yeah, but you would just like say

You wouldn't wake up or try to do anything about it. Yeah, and I think I mentioned previously that I have apnea So I have I'll like start suffocating in my dreams. I have a lot of dreams about flying and being on planes Yeah, why could you do it so much? Yeah, like I'll have stress dreams. It's like I'm at the airport and I'm like Oh shit, where's my flight? You know what time's my flight? I'm at the wrong gate. Yeah, have you had a school dream since like you've been an adult? I have school dreams every now and it's super rare. I kept getting the last time I have probably been a couple years The last at your high school or yeah, I guess since I dropped out of college It's almost always high school dreams. My mind are always high school dreams And I went to college four years after high school which makes no sense

Yeah, the last dream I like that I was in college and I forgot I had a class. Yeah, that's like and like it's like the finals I'm like, oh fuck I forgot I had this econ class or whatever it's like shit. Yeah, I have that dream like once yeah twice. It's like thanks brain You might as well. I know always like it's the first day of school And I don't know my schedule like I don't know what class is supposed to be at and then even if I do know what class was to be at I have no idea where it is. Yeah, that happens as a reality to many kids I once woke up at 8.45 my class started at 8.30 in the morning and it was a midterm that day and

I was like in my pajamas I woke up because I slept through my alarm and I realized I'm already 15 minutes late for class So I literally put on a pair of pants over my pajamas, put on a winter coat, put a pen on my pocket, and just bolted down the streets class. This is like January. High school or college? College. This is like the dead of winter in Canada.

So I was just like running down the street in like half pajamas, half like snow suit, crazy lunatic girl, just woke up. I made it though. How did you do in the test? Not very up. I made it though. I'm what you do in the test Not very well better than zero though. I think I did like a C plus or a B minus That's pretty good. Hey, I'm here. I'm here. That's not bad considering you woke up after the test fucking started Yeah, yeah, it's not better than zero. I'm really having my teacher actually let me

Yeah, I was gonna say that like it's shocking. They will let you in but I guess we show up wearing pajamas and like my hair Was just like all over the place Okay, clearly you just ran here happy. I live five minutes away from school Canada was cold. So how much time did you have left to take the test? I think I got there with like an extra 45 minutes The class is like a two hour class. Wow or no, I don't have class The class is like a two hour class or no, I don't have class. I do not miss that about school like tests Yeah, and like having a study and like having to like

Prove your knowledge and output all this knowledge. I'm like now we do it every day Questions like now you just look shit up. Yeah, why? There's actually a thing or it was like someone was saying like some report came out that basically you shouldn't even bother teaching spelling or grammar to kids anymore because it's all auto corrected. So you can just give you it close enough, it'll fix it for you. And so they're like saying the wide waste time doing that. It's just like stupid thing in the world. I think they need to teach it more.

Just based off people's involvement with the internet and social media and just like Leet speak I guess well we're riding a lot more now. Yeah, it like auto correct is fine and all But that doesn't fix the improper use of words they keep showing me with Yeah, I miss that beard. Yeah, we do I get it back But like so so too often people will use the wrong version of a word like to or there. There's my pet Eve is should of should instead of should have. Yeah. Because people do like the should of posh for V.E. And people think it's just should of like O.V. Oh, O.V. Get off my podcast. No, my thing that drives me just fucking crazy is when someone texts and they write you

are, like the letters you are, and I was reading as Er, so it's like, you know, Er looking okay today. It's like, what the fuck you? No one's ever texting you. You got to text the person in command. Why is that the person you're not gonna work? You are looking okay in a day, so like texting yourself. Yes, like, hey Jack,. No, I would write it frankly

I would write you are or you apostrophe are you? It's like you like you're your other side of your psyche Your hot Jack Every day it's like looking good Pickens you are looking okay. I'm done. I'm just the first thing I think of god damn it. Thank you guys I'm gonna go cut my leg off, they're back. I do this the first thing you think of. I started like working that sentence out before I had it all planned out in my head.

I just heard a talk about the sentence. Looking okay. Shirt. It's gonna be back, yeah. It's gonna be back. I'm gonna the podcast like a month. Yeah, you've been going on too. Are you still feeling any effects of jet lag. No, no actually is weird coming back I do much better getting back to America from overseas and then going there like when I went to Australia We got in it like eating the morning or so and then we went and had breakfast and then kind of like you know spend the day

And I was tired and then I'm like all right I'm gonna lay down like five o'clock take like an hour nap and then I of like, you know, spent the day and I was tired. And then I'm like, all right, I'm gonna lay down like five o'clock, take like an hour nap and then I'm gonna wake up, stay up to like midnight and try to kill it. Lay down at five o'clock, woke up at 10 a.m. the next morning. Yeah, that's the worst. And it's like, oh no. And then it's all the next day,

I was just miserable and felt terrible. And then the day after that, I felt pretty good. So it took like a solid two days to do it. But then coming back, I was fine. I felt like I never fully adjusted to the time zone when I was down there. Because I was only there like five days. Yeah, yeah. And then when I came back, I felt like it never fully adjusted to the time zone when I was down there, because I was only there like five days.

Yeah, yeah. And then when I came back, I felt like it took me over a week to get readjusted to me. Next, I never fully adjusted going that way. And I always feel like going east is harder than going west. That's what I'm just the reverse of that. I was never two weeks though. I was in Australia for a while and then with New Zealand.

Actually hung out with Nick, your buddy. That was awesome, man. Got his keys locked in the car. How was that a New Zealand? RT, Ariola? Yeah, it's RT Aurora, Illinois. No, RT, Roa is the actual way to say it. There's a lot of fun.

It was pretty cool. We had about 60 people who are so show up. Yeah, it was fun. That's pretty big. They did a land gaming center thing, so I got to play some rock band. I've done that forever, and they opened bar, so that was good. How was that? Well, it was like two drinks, though, they had open bar so that was good. How was that party? Well, it was like open bar, like you like two drinks though,

so not open bar, so ticketed open bar I guess. How is that packed after party that you guys had? It was packed. It was packed. It was awesome. It was a lot of fun. It was great. They actually, you like this day,

the series of shots you could buy. It was four shots and it was Ruby. So they had a red, yellow, black, and white one. That's really cool. Yeah, it was neat. I did two rounds of Ruby. I did all, I did eight shots of Ruby. Nice. Which one was the best? Oh, god, they were all pre-stairful. Answer carefully. The black was pretty good. The black was like a coffee, the core. So that was pretty tasty.

The white, I think, was vodka, maybe? Are you not even kidding me? I was not stupid about it. I was like, I'll drink beer. Oh, Hania. I'm not doing fucking. Yeah, like yellow was like tequila. One of them was just tequila. Okay. And then the red one changed. It was like some weird. It was almost like a almost like a like a margarita mix. Not not margarita mix. Bloody Mary mix. Like shot. And the first one was disgusting. And they changed it to something else. That was also disgusting. No, I don't. So someone actually brought me a and and the first one is disgusting and they changed something else that was also the so someone actually brought me a uh... and michael out of

they got to a michael out of my great uh... uh... i don't know why would i drink anything terrible like i'm there to have fun not have disgusting michael out of the uh... which i'm a little bit of a lot is tomato sauce and beer based clear but i'm very but with beer instead of uh... horrible and then like my bad love them tomato sauce and beer-based glitters. It's like a bloody married, but with beer instead of a boss. Oh, that sounds horrible.

It's horrible. And then my bad wife loves them. She swears by them. So there's some people who are really anyone. Did she like bloody married? Yes. Do you like bloody? No.

I like beer-redos. That's a good combination of beer and other drink. I could go for one of those. They had good bar-garitas at that place where the after party was at the Kodiak Club. Yeah. It was pretty good. So the crowd was good. Then he was good. Yeah, if anything, I thought it was maybe a little crowded,

a little hot. Yeah, it was nice though. It was a thing where like we were able to move around. I felt like I was moving around and talking to a bunch of different groups. It wasn't like we get bogged down in one spot. Yeah. You know, like I loved our TX, but one of the issues I had at our TX, like I went to, um, went to Ge to Geeksoo Drink, and I took two steps into the door, and I was like, oh, this is cool. Oh, hey, yeah, I sure I'll sign that, and then boom, there's a line. And I stood there for like two hours. And it was great. I'm there to meet fans,

but I wanted to play some Geeksoo Drink as well. What is the difference between that kind of thing and the party? Yeah. The party is like other people that talk to you, like the drinks that you can hang out here. At RTX, most of the thing is like other people are there talk to you. Yeah, yeah, you can hang out here So at our tx is kind of like most of the thing is to meet the yeah Yeah, yeah, I don't want to make a sound like I'm complaining. It was like all right, you know It would have been fun to do some other stuff as well So but anyway at the party it was kind of like I felt like we can move around and yeah

I definitely like kept moving around talking to people. Yeah Seen how drunk everyone got since I was not doing shots. I was definitely very conscious of my drunk Everyone else was yeah, there were there were a few people that were a little bit too far gone but the most part was all all pretty good one vomit Ruby but I mean Australia was a blast packs was great. That was a lot of going to another Pax again. Yeah, you're not going us three are going like going to have a lot of time. Yeah, it's us Ray and Monty and Bernie, right? And Alan and Chris. And Alan and Chris. Yeah. Other Chris. Not you. Yeah.

Mark and I. Yeah. Chris number two. The money. So we're we're start we've doubled up on quite a few employee names. Yeah. We got two Chris's to add. We have doubled up on quite a few employee names. We've got two Chris's, two atoms in the same fucking office. I rename Ben to Adam too, so that I could be working with three atoms. We start calling you Adam as well. We call you Eve. I could be Eve, yeah. There you go. Who wants to be the snake? No, we have two, we have two, well, we have two mics, technically three if you count Bernie. Yeah. Two Patrick's. Two Patrick's. Jesus. Not Gus or Jack yet. No. Or Barbara. I don't think they'll ever be another Barbara

unless we hire like an accountant. Why are what? Why is that? Because. All right. Alright. Go on. Barbara is typically an older name. Okay. So I don't think we're gonna hire anybody like in a younger position named Barbara. Just because it's it's not a common name anymore. Like I've only met one other hire anybody like in a younger position named Barbara. Just because it's not a common name anymore. Like I've only met one other girl named Barbara who was my age in my life. It's funny how names fall out of favor like that.

I feel like Barbara obviously was a popular name at one time if there's in like the 50s. Yeah, like older women with that name, but it's not a popular name anymore versus my name which was never popular. I don't know if I said that. But Jack, we should have plenty of Jacks. with that name but if it's it's not a popular name anymore versus my name which was never popular but a jack we should have plenty of jacks now i don't know is jacks supposed to be short for something was jack the

name all my my name is actually jack but john gets short into jack like like jfk was john at like john of kennedy was called jack kennedy and uh... what else same number of syllables yeah I don't know why but it's the case That's all right continue You look really offended by that No, I don't understand why why okay, I guess it's kind of like what is the name dick? It's Richard Richard that also never made sense to me. Yeah, it never makes sense

But I it's still short and so it's a little Richard can be rich. Yeah, yeah Or even like Like William is Billy right or Bill. Yeah, I always liked how your name was Dick Simmons in reverse is blue Which means Richard Simmons. Yeah, I don't know how many people have actually this workout It's a higher-rigid cement to show up at events for like nothing now We need pay a $1,000 and we'll show up at your event and just hang out. RTS. I'm going to do that for you.

Yeah, I'll have 24 teeth. Just a guess. We should do that by a money morning meeting. We've already been planning 24 teeth. Yeah, you and I even like talked about some stuff today. Yeah, like, oh, let's figure this out. Let's figure that out. Oh my god, we're really doing this again.

I think we secretly like it. No. And that we're excited doing this again. I think we secretly like it. No, I enjoy planning our TX. I'm excited to do a better job next year. It's strange. I'm looking for you doing a better job. It's strange. Although it oddly serious, we're a second there. It's strange not having that constant pressure right now. Yeah. It's like during the day, it's like I can do what I want. I can find a project I've been neglecting for a while and go look at it, go work on it. I know, it's really crazy.

It's almost just like, I don't know if it's even some convenience for me. I still feel like there's something in the back of my head, but when I really think about it, I'm like, oh, that's over for now. Yeah, we're, again, refinement. We'll make it better. Yeah, make it work. Our TX is so much fun. Yeah, it's such a good time.

We're actually looking at trying to work out effort discount codes for people who are coming. Oh, wow. Yeah. From other places to find a huge fossil. That's when you know you've made it. Yeah, hopefully we can help people save money by the fact that so many people are coming to Austin.

Yeah. And we're probably going to also have some sort of app that helps with the event next year too. Cool. So that's, that was a big thing in the feedback. Was that people wanting to app and then, so next year, hope? Well, it allows us to get information to everyone and update information, ask things change. Because things are always changing at an event.

So if you don't have a smartphone before RTX 2014, get one. How many people do you think that go to our tips that don't have smartphones? It's true. We found two not smartphones in the lost and found. Really? Maybe people are trying to get rid of them. Yeah, I like the team. Mom, I lost my phone. Yeah. I mean, like, so like Pax does that. They do like the lines and stuff. Like they'll show line weights and stuff. They also have a Twitter account called Pax line. Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about. Like the Twitter account. So, you know, even if, you know, but we're going to do an app, so we're just, we're going to one up that.

That will go to the next. I don't know. We just show lines in this app. Well, I mean, that's a program. But if you can relay information and be like, you can be like, you know, the podcast line is currently at two hour away. A mass messaging system. That would be really cool. Yeah.

Yeah. Make it happen. We're working on it. Get to the center of one's phones. Yeah. But yeah, I'm excited. It'll be good. Oh, when are we going to be able to announce our dates? We're working on it. Get the center one's phones. Yeah. But yeah, I'm excited. It'll be good.

When are we going to be able to announce our dates? I think we're going to announce our dates at the PAX panel. Okay. Okay. Which is Friday at 1 o'clock in the main theater at PAX. So August 3. Is it that same theater next door? That real big one.

I think so. Okay. That one year they had it that other place, like for the down, down the street. I don't like that. Yeah, I like the new location a lot more. Yeah, the one for the down the street, I think it was bigger. Yeah, I like the new location a lot more. The one further down the street, I think it was bigger, but like the one they have next door to the convention centers.

I like that theater. The one down the street was also weird. Had like those balconies on the side. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Did you talk about Comic Con last week? No, you didn't. I tried to talk about Comic Con but Bernie kept derailing me.

Oh, it was fun. This was your first sanding in Comic Con, right? Like going in, you always hear about how crowded it is and how many people there are. How did your, like, expectations? I mean, I was really awesome. Like, I was surprised by just, like, how big it, like, I didn't even get a chance to, like, witness the full scale of it because it was so bad. Yeah, like the Expo for the exhibit hall. And it just fit it blood out into so many different, like, like the Expo floor, the exhibit hall. And it just fit it bled out into so many different like, like, oh, across the street is this,

and across that street is that, and it keeps going. It may take over like the whole city. Yeah, it was really cool though. I mean, our booth was just busy the whole time. It was a lot of fun. I mean, Miles went on adventures. And he goes, that sounds scary. Did you film any of it?

Are we the same? We've, oh man, we filmed some of it, but it probably whenever we're never gonna stay. and the There were other things that went on, but I'm trying to remember. Why are you holding the purse? Yeah, what is that purse that you're holding? Oh, that's Kathleen's purse. Sure it is. Now, should you cackle like that? I don't know. I don't know.

Did you steal her purse? No, I had to go get her. I see what you painted. I got to go get her purse. Don't you feel the worst? There was something in her. She had her badge or something. And I was going up to her room to grab my badge and she's like oh grab my purse which has my badge.

So you know carried purse and took a picture. Yeah, well my picture. Okay, well it sounds like you had fun and you made a lot of memories. Memories. How can you not remember a single fucking thing? Were you drunk? Yeah. Well I mean not the whole time but just- Well they do remember. Oh you're a little bit sick. Yeah there's a horse that you're kissing.

Oh yeah that's Miles. Is that same I owned? No. It does look like her. My favorite was the hodor. Oh yeah that was awesome. That was a great photo. Oh is that you on the was the hodor. Oh yeah, that was awesome. That was a great, that was a good photo. Oh, is that you on the back of hodor?

Of hodor? Yeah. Look, I dressed up like a hodor. Yeah, exactly, yeah. Oh, I did see the black power engine, the original black power engine. Philly, I think. No, no.

Look how thrilled Gus now is. That's a lot of fun. Did you hear about what Brian Cranston did at Comic Con this year? Yeah. Oh yeah, yeah. That was awesome he didn't even see him walk around did you know he was wearing like a Walter white yeah Brian Cranston had a Walter white mask on from breaking bad and he was dressed up like Walter white from breaking bad and then at the panel he walked up on stage all goofy and then he sat down and Brian Cranston's thing and then pulled his mask off

and oh shit it's Brian Cranston I wonder how many people were just like man that guy walked right past me. Yeah he was he was on Conan O'Brien and he showed clips from like people walking around taking photos of this stuff like because it was a cool thing in cost and so people were taking photos with the guy in the costume. Didn't a lot of it do that last year at Comic Con like you were an iron man last year. Oh no that was not. Robert Downey Jr.

He's done that a few times and then I think what Adam Savage from Mythbusters he dresses up in crazy costumes but yeah any celebrity they always have to cover their face and walk around. Yeah I could see why. Yeah so. And we experienced that a little bit at RTX. Yeah I didn't get any chance at all to walk around RTX this year. I was just like I'd like to see the show. But I like to see the show.

But I can't see a chance in that. The breaking bad comes back this Sunday. This Sunday. I've been trying to rewatch the last bit of breaking bad to get caught back up in anticipation. We should do a spoiler cast in that gun. We are doing a spoiler cast. Friday. So who's gonna be on it? It's you me. I think Bernie and Gavin. Yeah.

Right. I always forget Gavin watched it. Yeah me too. Like at first it was this could be Jack Bernie and myself. I was so burned like who else watches it. He's like Gavin. I was like, Oh it. Yeah, me too. At first it was this could be Jack Bernie and myself. And I was talking to Bernie, like who else watches it? He's like Gavin. I was like, oh yeah, that's right. I think everyone watches it. I introduced Gavin to Breaking Bad. I still forget that he watches it. Yeah.

This podcast introduced me to Breaking Bad. When I still listen to you guys back in like 2011. Dude. And you talk about it. I talked about that show so much of pissed off Gus that he watched it actually. I don't want you because of you. I think you did.

I think you just watched it because I talk about all the time. Bernie's the one you pissed off with it. OK, that makes sense. Everyone remembers shit wrong with me. I don't know whatever because of you. I think you did. I think you just watched because I talked about all the time. Bernie's the one you pissed off with it. Okay, that makes sense. Everyone remembers shit wrong with me. I don't know whatever. I remember everything. Now I'm pissed off.

You're gonna pee in the oven. Fuck this. You're gonna piss in your oven. We ain't a counter for how many times I've just been set on this podcast. Yeah, drink whatever someone pees in an oven. Pea in an oven. I can still can't believe you did that. My sister would sometimes like, I had the same thing like she was kind of a sleepwalker

Uh-huh, and she'd get up and go to like the the dining room and she'd like sit down at the dining room table and like laugh And we like in the middle of the night like go in and she just be sitting there laughing Be like come on, let's go back to bed And she's like No like full out like belly laughing Yeah, I was gonna say that's something this really scary. Yes, but she's like all the lights are off It's like the middle of the night And you get like woken up by like laughter in your house

You're like what the fuck I don't know Stan Sleeve walking like I mean I snore so a lot I'll wake myself up every now and then I'm like I imagine if I was I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm. And you just like, uh, yeah, I saw someone do that on a plane in this, this most recent Australian trip. He was like behind me into the left. I was like, man, I got snored really loud. And then sure enough, he was like, he did that thing. He was like, I mean, like, shoots up and like, looks around. Like someone else snoring?

Yeah. Was it? The worst is like, I've also woken myself up drooling on a plane. Oh, I'd never done that. But when you have a beard, it's even worse because then it gets in the beard. Similar when you sneeze or you can feel it though. That's the gross thing. And then try to clean it out. It's like you have to dig in there and like clean it. It's gross. The problems with a beard. I've seen people do that so many times on airplanes. I do. Are they doing that?

The chin hitting the chest. Where you just like, you're falling asleep and like, what wakes you up as your head not like? Yeah. I'm always embarrassed when I do it because I'm just like, man, so many people saw me do that. I feel like that wakes you up and you're like, oh my god, I can't believe I did.

I'm like, I'm super damaged, certainly. Yeah, it's immediately back out. Yeah. That's what I was doing at the PAX Prime thing last year at that FIY when I went to. Was that that last year was it last year? I guess so yeah No, yeah, the wild start thing. Yeah, that would have been not have been last year Oh when you were in the front row. Yeah, I I'm pretty sure that was last year right yeah, wow yeah, it's crazy thing like things like this

It seems like it was those bikes so fast now God I see I see that all time in class I couldn't every class that had a better. I see that all the time in class. Every class that had a lecture, I would just do the head nod, Bob. I like them dancing. I used to sleep in science class in high school. I actually took them out. Yeah, I did that too. That was really bad about sleeping in class.

I went to college at a really small university in Houston called Rice. And like our incoming class was 400 people I want to say. It's like super small. You raise that tiny? Yeah, it's really tiny. They did the grown sense and they used to only have eight colleges back then, now they have ten. So they're a little bigger now.

But anyway, so it's a really small class. You know everyone. And when you're a freshman, you take a lot of the same classes as the other freshmen. So there's this one guy in particular, he was Philip. And I had a couple of classes with him. I had like a programming class, chemistry, calculus, and at least those three classes with him. And one day, he and my friends were like, he'd like to sit in the same seat every class.

Yeah. If he would always go and he'd have his seat that he wanted to have. So one day, I mean, my friends decided that we were just going to take his seats. Like, we were going to work on the schedule. Yeah, one of us would leave the previous class like five minutes early, go to the next class, and then get in the seat that he liked, that we would beat him there. Then when he came in, he wouldn't have a seat. We only did this once.

Because I remember the last class of the day was the programming class. He didn't get the seat he wanted. He ended up sitting behind the seat he wanted. Before class started, he just sat there and was sulking. And then my friend was sitting in front of him in the seat he wanted. And he picked up his pencil. It's like, well, from ten he was stabbing my friend in the back with his pencil and it like slammed it down in the chair and I was like oh We never took you see it again after that. This is Christ. He's man. That's like High school shooter. That's like the behavior. Yeah, that's like the beginning of a really bad horror movie It's just like really bad horror movie, of course it's just like, they took my save one to many times.

How do you even know why we did that? There's like some dumb thing, like, let's take a seat. Yeah, but yeah, he flipped the fuck out. I had a guy in college I knew who really liked Christmas. So for the entire month of December, he wore an outfit like green tights, red tunic and like a sand a hat and he would like we'd I'd be at stop walk and I'd be like oh hey Ryan he'd be like sorry Ryan this isn't Ryan this is his best friend

napkin the elf napkin the elf yeah and then I'd be like oh hey napkin you like here you want some Christmas cookies he had cookies in his pocket so he wore the same outfit every day for a fucking month without washing it probably. I mean, I don't know. And he kept cookies in his pocket. Okay, go ahead, sorry. Yeah, I mean- I hate it.

Yeah, well nice, and napkin. What kind of cookies? You know, the little like- Ginger snacks. No, they're shaped like Christmas reeds and like those kind of things, little like- Like a sugar cookie. Yeah, you're a good man. Chris, this man was you, wasn't it?

Right. No, I didn't have a really cool experience with NAP in the alpha. So, there's a bunch of like a drug story. No, no, no, no, no, no. We were in Joshua Tree. It was so much fun. I was in the best lab looking on a film.

And it's one of the things where it's like, there were no windows or anything like that. I was in there for like five hours and it was like the like December 23rd or something right right during finals and then the doors burst open and napkin the elf jumps out and it's snowing it's a Christmas miracle and then ran out. Well that's just snowing. It was like the only day snow. It would be amazing if it wasn't. The. That's really recent. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, that's when I graduated.

Oh, okay. So, yeah, it was a Christmas miracle. It was a Christmas miracle. And then you grew cookies. Did he remember that? I remember when it snowed here. Yeah, and I was like, what year was it? I want to say it was like, it had been like 2004 or 2004.

I'm not sure. Yeah, okay. No, no, no, no, that's not wrong. Because that's 2008 or 2009. That's really recent. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, that's when I graduated. Oh, okay.

So, yeah, Chris is a Christmas miracle. It was a Christmas. I didn't even do cookies. Did he really? That would also be a like snow or something. It's snowing. Yeah, I'm going to read this.

or you want to like watch, find new things. Yeah. Like when Ben was on, he was talking about how, like, he was so happy to find that all of the Yugi-O series was on there. And it's like, you can just sit there and that all of the Yu-Gi-Oh Yeah, series was on there And it's like you can just sit there and just like power through it all There was there was a show on Hulu plus or on Hulu that I watched forever ago And I think they've taken it off now, but it was this Japanese game show where they played a 24 hour game of tag

Have I told you about this guy? No, it's so like like since you know Gaki or something like that apparently It's five guys are in a comedy troupe or a comedy group together out in Japan And one of them bet like one guy bet the other four that he could beat them on a foot race. Like it was like a 400 meter race around a track. And they did a relay style. He just did it by himself. And then he beat them. And their punishment was the fact that he had, they got to go on a 24 hour game of tag where it was in the middle of this gym and they sat in the middle. And then every now and then like this random dude in this black leather outfit would jump out

And if he caught you he would do something bad to you and it would change and the person that the suit would change So like at one point like they're running and like they caught this guy and all of a sudden like another guy showed up They pin him to the floor and then like three naked children ran out and sat on his face And he's like wow freaking out and then they ran away at one point They grabbed a guy pin him to a a wall they started launching dodgeballs at him through one of those like you know football launchers yeah there's another were like about forty people showed up with fans and started like beating all of them

and it's they've they've basically tortured these guys for a solid day how can you use naked children as a weapon it was amazing that he just told you how no but like it's that like how they think i don't know man but they pin these guys the ground like kids ran out they sat down on his face and like oh freaking out the real question is why it's for a show and also Japan have you heard of this new reality show called

naked and like naked in a freight naked in a freight yeah what the fuck I've seen it I love it I watch like three minutes of it and I'm so confused yeah so they essentially take like wilderness primitive survival experts, and then drop them off like in a really inhospitable environment. One man, one woman, and they have to work together, naked. They get like one item they need to take. And they have to live out there for 21 days. Would you choose?

Uh, a condom. I'm kidding. I would take a box of condoms. Yeah. Hey, the control room explodes. I'm kidding. I would take I would take a box of condoms Hey, the controller mixed bloods I don't know. I seems like the things that are most popular are knives and fire starters Yeah, I was gonna say like there was one guy who took goggles So he could catch fish and he was afraid of the water

It was like the dumbest item and then he wouldn't even use it to get in the water because he was afraid of the ocean. I'll break my fear with my go- like that would, I don't know. It didn't happen. So you watch three minutes? I watch three minutes. You absolutely should watch it show. It's crazy. Dude, I love those terrible reality shows. Like Gold Rush, I fucking love Gold Rush.

I saw the first two seasons of gold rush gold rush is a show about these minors in the eukon like elaska in canada in the northwest and it's like there's like a three or four different groups of people she's new watch and one is this kid named parkler parker shnavel who are parker parker shnavel at the out of the whatever he's a seven year old kid who runs a gold mine by himself and like there's a couple employees

But it's like his grandfather's and his grandfather basically gave it to him said here you can run it So it's like this kid working these giant machines and stuff and like panning for gold There's another group of like these guys. You don't know what the fuck they're doing and so they've been like just handed all this money It's like buy these machines and all keeps breaking down It's a reality. They were the guys that were the focus of season one. Season one was just those days. It was like those guys were like, you know, we've all been laid off from our jobs because the economy's bad.

So they're from like Washington state. They're like, we're just going to buy all this equipment and go up to Alaska and try to find gold. And so it's like, it's a guy and his father. It's a guy and his father and this old guy with this giant white beard and his name is a kid. You not Jack Hoffman

And the reason why they found the plot of land they found and the first season They they went there because they knew for sure there was a glory hole at the bottom of So it's Jack Hoffman and his glory hole dig it into the glory hole And the funny thing about was they kept talking about one and a find glory hole. Like the glory hole is just a little further. There's treasure in that glory hole we know. I guess it's like where sediment has gathered gold into a big deposit. And that actually means something

that you accept a wall with a hole in it. Basically what it is, it's a prehistoric waterfall. So the water will basically run off of rocks, go down, and then with the pool of the bottom of the waterfall, that's the glory hole. Like all the walls and stuff. Yeah. And it settles the bottom of it. So if you can find one of those, that glory hole is rich of gold. Yeah. So anyway, so yeah, I watch season first two season. So I think there up to it's there'll be season four coming up this fall. That and like deadliest

catch. I loved deadliest catch like this. So about those terrible reality shows. I know a guy who went to go work on one of those fishing boats. He's talked about that. I don't think we're talking about the podcast. Oh, okay. We're bringing it up now. Thank you, Jack. You're welcome. Like before Deadliest Catch was a show, I knew this guy

like back in 98. And I think like this summer of 98, he's like, yeah, I found this job. I can make $40,000. I just have to go for like three months and help catch fish up in Alaska. He's like it's really dangerous so okay and yeah he went and did it. It made his money and came back. That's the thing if you can survive it it's like like 40 to 60 grand and two or three months depending on how well it goes.

He's like wow all right so. Have you ever won like the lottery in any capacity? I hit five out of six numbers on the lottery one twenty five hundred dollars When I was like in fourth grade or my parents did like they were my numbers that they use and they won so I got Okay, this is gonna be good. I got an Xbox out of it Chris has a lot of scratch off ticket I think I won a dollar Hey, my wallet for like six months. Is that even redeemable at this point? I don't know Why why don't you just redeem it? You know what? There's a gas station in one.

I went to go redeem it one time and they were like, oh, sorry, I think it was like too late or something. Oh, it's expired. So you kept it longer? No, no, no. You have to come back at like 10 or something. Oh, it's too late in the day. Yeah. But one of these days, I'm going to cash it.

It was worth the value of the ticket itself. That's a two dollar ticket Okay, then it's two dollar winning okay, all right, okay, so you can buy another ticket with your winning Yeah, well, I don't I wouldn't buy it. I just cashed in how often do you buy lottery tickets? I don't okay, it was like I Don't know I think I was just drinking and like lottery ticket. Yeah, you're feeling lucky as you do that's a gamble Gus and I played crap together. Yeah, you're feeling lucky. As you do. That's a big gamble. Gus and I played Crab's together. Yeah, we finally played Crab's together. And as Chris, you know, you hadn't done that before.

No, we had like the biggest together. No, we'd always been. That's the last time we've been in Vegas together. Have we ever gone to Vegas together? I don't think we ever have. I would think you would have played Crab's together if you had. I was starting to play in this year. Yeah.

I think maybe you were there for a GameStop manager's conference once. Oh, and yeah, and I was not. I didn't play C I didn't know maybe those jolene mad I thought I was Joel I remember I remember Matt was there I think was Joel. Oh Seven was the last game start managers conference. I went after that. Okay. It was it manned away Yeah, it's a mandolin and Yeah, but yeah, we got to play of course like the craps the odds are different at in Australia like they the bets are a little bit different. But I actually, and then I'm doing pretty good, we made money. There were, yeah, I ended up positive as well. There were things that annoyed me about playing crafts in Australia, we're playing crafts in the US. First of all, like some of the

bets and the rules were slightly different. I mean, it wasn't anything overwhelming. It was all, you know, manageable. But it seemed like down there, people who aren't playing crowd the table. Yeah. Like most of the tables, people not playing, they also say there was one table in the whole casino. Just one crowd. Everyone who was, I didn't realize it at first, but I went to one end of the table like I squeezed in in my space. Then as we were playing, I realized everyone, the only people playing the game were on our side of the table. Like we were all squeezed together. Everyone else around the table was just watching. So when you place them come in, they'd always come and try to were on our side of the table. Like we were all squeezed together. Everyone else around the table was just watching. So when you play some come in,

they'd always come and try to go on our side and be like, no, no, go over there. Yeah, spread it out. Like the dealer wouldn't be like, hey, if you're not betting anything or anything, just. I mean, it was like, and normally I've experienced the spectator too, that's fine. Yeah.

I'm talking, this was fucking crowd. Yeah, it was like half the table. Especially if it's the only one there. Yeah. Fuck off. Also, it was like, if it's that crowd in that pop, I guess, like, why wouldn't they have another table, But it's like, no one was playing, I guess, with any players. Yeah, but there was one person I was sitting there playing and someone walked

up and they said, Oh, what is this game? It's like, you've never heard of Krabs before. I guess it's not a thing there. So it was weird. But I ended up doing it. He was a friendly. Yeah, yeah. I found that's universally true. Yeah. He's like, Krabs dealers are always like super friendly and like, they're willing to explain and help you along and help you along. Yeah, we definitely needed to help since the rules were slightly Yeah, like we were we were trying to make like you can't make bets for the dealers there like in Vegas You can like you know throw it out a buck for a dealer you put this wherever you want They'll put it and then it's a tip basically there. I tried to do that at one point They're like oh, no, no, we can't we can't take it. It's probably part of the tipping thing. Yeah

Yeah, well, it's also yeah, they they make a better salary than they do other places But it was not a fun. I ended up doing really well actually like you we played together and then we were both up a little bit And then he went home and I was staying there So I was like screw it all stay for a little bit longer and then I ended up going back and making a lot of money Yeah, so we're flying out the next day. Yeah, so I had to get in a cab to go back to my hotel. Yeah, but which apparently the name I miss pronounced Oh, did you? Oh, yeah, it's actually yeah, that's right. That's actually thing. Yeah, man, but name I miss pronounced. Oh, did you? Taxi yeah, that's right. That's actually thing. Yeah, man, but yeah, it was fun. That was cool. It was good It was good. So far so far we are positive playing crap together So now we gotta go to Vegas and do it upright

Gus my good luck charm when I played no, yeah, every time Gus was at the table with me I would make a lot of money and then I tried to go play with either Alan or by myself and I would lose It's like I need guys That's a hard thing like you need to know when to walk away like that's why I walked away that night like it had been real hit Miss yeah, I was still up and I was like I'm just gonna Yeah, you walked away and then like then like the one I went back to the table like three shooters in a row shot for like 20 minutes A piece and it was just like you just banked and so and I trying, I was trying to get it myself up to a thousand dollars, so I get a thousand dollars ship, and I got within 20 bucks of doing it once, and then I whittled it back down. So not not there at last, they'll walk away

with a lot of money, but still. It was like so close. They don't have $500 ships there. I was aiming for a $500 ship, and they didn't have them. Now I want to go to Vegas. I want to go to Vegas. I was even about it earlier. I mean. Go to Vegas, the poor packs. Yeah, God, I want to go to Vegas so bad. There's a Game Stop Management Conference there, like right before it. I want to go to Vegas so bad. There's a GameStop management conference there, like, right before Pax. Alan may have talked to me about it. I was like, Alan, we're going to Vegas.

He's like, there's plenty of you in there. I was telling if you can go to Vegas right now for $5. He's using his points now. Like, I guess he learned how to use his mileage points. But, uh, yeah, Vegas is great. He also, when we went to big is recently booked he was like hey let me book your fight and i'm like why

so i want to put on my credit card and like i mean i was like i'll book it you know whenever and my own time is like no let me look at right now and then look at right now i can book it right now and he's just eager to get you go like well no no no no no he was like ten flights oh really on his like, airline credit card.

Sneaky bathroom. And then just like, racked it up. Yeah. I do that a lot here. I'll book my own travel with Rooster Chief on my own personal credit card. And then expense it so that I get point. How diligent was he like to get some money from you?

Like did he book the flight? And he's like, come on, pay up. Pay up. Anyone who pays now? Yeah, I think he did pretty good. OK, that's good. So what's the dick about it or anything oh no he was fine okay he's complaining about someone who's shifting ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I've hit gold now for American because of my flights to Australia back because I've flown around trip twice now.

But I got screwed on one of my flights. They didn't add it for some reason. I actually have to call up American and be like, hey, what's up? How can you add these points? When I used to be platinum, it's because I used to go to Australia once or twice a year. So making that trip really, it's like 8,000 miles one way. Do you lose that status if you don't? Every year you got to maintain it. Really?

Yeah. So, I'll hit gold and probably keep gold and be it. On the way to and from PAX, got this to Guilty. I can't believe I'm going to say this. I did not book myself on the non-stop flight because I could get more miles connecting the San Francisco. Because this is like just a cutoff. That's why you did it. To get the next level of the status.

So I would admit to that. Layovers, I'm away to it from there. Didn't they screw you over one of the flights though? Like they didn't you get the points for it? No, they ended up giving it to me. Okay, you didn't. So on the way down there, like again to get points, I ended up like stopping in Sydney and then flying from Sydney to Melbourne, but then the fucking plane broke in Sydney and my Sydney to Melbourne flight was canceled. They literally came on the flight, like the pilot came on.

Was the pilot? It wasn't in whatever. Someone came on the announcement. Yeah. Actually, first of all, it was a really empty flight. Really? So it was a 747 from Sydney to Melbourne. There were maybe 100 people on it. Jesus.

It's like almost everyone had their own row. That's cool. Wow. It's really cool. Do you like lounge? Yeah, and we're like, yeah, that's awesome. And then they come on to like, there's a problem with the wire. The plane's not safe to be on. Oh, no.

So the flight's been canceled. It was like, what? The plane's not safe to be on. And then they made a sit there for two more hours. They couldn't explode at any moment more hours and then we we were allowed to get off the plane and then as I was walking off like I walked by where the upstairs is like where the stairs are and I could hear like two of the mechanics talk he's like yeah I took off all the panels out of the galley's like I still can't find it's like it's all

in pieces up there right now. Then the mechanics like Like oh shit Grandlands So fun talking about playing stories after you travel. Yeah, it's not easy. You're doing that really happened I'm not going anywhere for a while no one died on my flights this time Happy to see your percentage of international flight jets is steadily decreased 25% right now 25% chance some some will die in my flight. They'll present the hard attack. Right, what else, what other instant was there?

No, that was it. No, I've been in four flights. Gotcha. So I apologize. We did the read, and I said we'd come back and talk about VidCon, but then we never went back to talk about VidCon. Oh, look at it. We still got plenty of time.

How was VidCon? VidCon was really, really fun. It's like a very strange convention just in comparison to what we're used to. Is VidCon put on by YouTube? No, it's put on by the vlog brothers. Oh. I forget their names right now, but it's not put on by YouTube. It's sponsored by YouTube.

It seems like it's a YouTube convention just because like every single like YouTuber is there But yeah, it was really strange because we're used to going to game and conventions, which is predominantly You know 13 to 24 year old male some females go, but this was like being at a Justin Bieber concert Everyone was like a 12 to 17 year old girl. Everyone was like super L.A. super kind of do she I'm saying I'm the nice way possible, but it was just really weird to be there Huh Comparison where did anyone scream when they saw Gavin like?

No, but we did hear people scream for like to busk us and really really high All those all those great people guys. Yeah, to bus kids awesome actually like yeah, he's a cool guy He's a hard work in dude. Like I saw him in E3 and he was just crushing it at the Ubisoft booth. And it was just like, how do you keep that energy man? Those YouTubers actually, like, they put a lot of work into what they do and a lot of energy and I don't think a lot of people realize the amount of energy it takes to be at those conventions and to meet people all day.

One of the early, so, you know, we only started RTX in 2011. That's when we had it in the field down the street. But we had talked about having our own convention for a long time. I think the first time we kicked around the idea was like 2005, and we wanted to have an internet convention where we can invite internet content creators

to come to it, people like the brother's chap, get home star runner, Drew Curtis from Farck, Commander Talk, from slash dot big sites at the time. And we're going to call it dot com con. dot com. And I think there's a VidCon reminds me of that. It's the same kind of thing. It's similar to still dot com. Yeah, which is I think is a funny name. I still think dot com con is the funniest name for a minute. Is that it? We could still rename our TX. We're still time.

No. It's you right now. What are my current pet peeves with RTX? Is people referring to it as Rooster Teeth Expo? Right. Which it is not. It's nothing really. RTX is not a staggering thing.

Yeah. That news to me. Yeah. Even internally, Rooster Tex would tell people, you yelled at me on the podcast about that. Do not call it Rooster Teeth Expo. It is not a staggering thing. Yeah. That's news to me. Yeah. Even internally at RoosterDacto tell people you yelled at me on the podcast about that. Do not call it RoosterDacto. It's not a specific thing. I think it says people think we're using the same ideas packs where it's Penny Arcade Expo and they have the ex.

But for us it could be that. It could be Rooster Texas. Yeah. It could be a number of things. I was like I like incorporating the ex into a lot of things. Yeah. Like I would it's stupid I call it like the X factor like when when we had the Roostery store at our

TX this year there were two different lines there was the express line and the experience line again like I incorporate I tried to incorporate it as much as possible throughout the event. Even if it's not public facing it's like it's internal and I don't want it to seem like the event is solely about us. Right. It's not the Rooster Teeth Expo. It's an Expo we put on with things that we like. Yeah. So, it's my current pitpe, which is why I bring it up.

R-T-X. So VidCon's an Anaheim. Yeah. But I hear that not everything was in the actual Anaheim Convention Center. Alan was telling me there was like a stage out between two hotels. Yeah, there was like an outside stage where I think they had musical performances. It was between the Hilton and the Marriott. The Hilton, I mean it was pretty much connected to the convention center, but it was like there

was a walkway between the two hotels where they just set up the stage. It was really odd. So does VidCon fill up a lot? The Anaheim Convention Center's fucking massive? Yeah, I think it's bigger than the San Diego one. Like how many halls does it take? Do you know like how big it was? It didn't seem to take up too much of the space. I think they had between 10 and 13,000 attendees.

From what I saw, they used a pretty good chunk of the exhibition hall and then some rooms upstairs. But I didn't spend too much time wandering around inside. We went to the panels that we went to, and then we had a meetup on Saturday where we got to meet a bunch of fans who were in town for VidCon, which is really cool. Everyone was really nice. That's something also very different about VidCon.

Is everyone's just really friendly and like... It was friendly at all of it. I was always friendly, but VidCon people were just, I don't know. So everyone's tweeting that the vlog brothers are John and Hank green John and Hank I have to say that because it's like Non-stop wall tweets. Yeah, Hank green was actually on a panel with Bernie that he moderated about having to live in LA to produce content online did People like cosplay no, I didn't see any cosplayers everyone Everyone was... You didn't cosplays like Tabuska's? It looked like I was in Tabuska's shirts though.

It looked like I was in an American apparel magazine. Okay. Like imagine the people who you would see wearing that kind of stuff. Were there any like normal celebrities there as well like any famous TV or movie stars? The only one I could think of offhand is Danielle Fischel. No, yeah, it's a pain. You think Sarah Silverman and what's Dwight from the office weren't there. I didn't see him. Well that's something like YouTube always pushes like the big name people like online. You see commercials and stuff and it's like oh okay. I don't know that it's necessarily YouTube pushing them but I feel like there's a lot of crossover, obviously, like people in Hollywood try to do things on the internet.

And I feel like they're marketing teams and they're PR people definitely do a lot of pushing about that stuff. Like Lisa Kudrow has that web series I know you always hear about. Yeah. And then like David Wayne has Wayney Day. Did Tom Hanks beat us in a category for a web series? I think like HBO and Tom Hanks. I was 30 rock beat us for something.

Oh, oh, at the uh, the producer's skill award. Yeah, the producer's skill award. Yeah. Yeah. Stupid celebrities. Tom Hanks beat us at the stream. He's the webbie's according to brand. Okay.

This just in. We like a lot. We like a lot. We like a lot. Tom Hanks is on the parking lot. He's beat you. Like, come Hanks is on the parking lot. What do you come on nerd? I have two funny Gavin stories from VidCon.

Hit us. As you remember, VidCon last year was the story of Bernie pushing Gavin in the elevator and pressing all the buttons because he was so drunk. And Gavin trying to push Bernie into a fountain and punching the walls of the hotel. So Gavin's notorious for getting very drunk at VidCon, which happened again. So he's two or two, amazing. Yes. All right. One night we went out to the collective was having a party and it was open bar and of course Gavin opened that bar and drank it. So he got pretty drunk and we were going back to our hotel in the

elevator and me and Gavin get off at the same floor because we're staying in rooms that are adjacent to each other. And he's stumbling behind me and trying to trip me as we're walking. And I'm like, come on Gavin, let's put you to bed. You need to sleep. And at one point, I don't hear anything behind me and I turn around and Gavin is lying face down on the floor. Oh my god, we have a picture of him? That's close enough.

That looks nice. What was next to him? His bag. We got goody bags at the party. Oh, okay. So, he just did. I like it. Your first instinct, instead of helping him up, was to take a photo.

Of course. You might be a little drunk too. That photo is not like that. I know. That photo is totally crooked as well. Okay. I drank a little bit too. But he, it's not like he like passed out. He actually just laid down on the floor. Because he didn't feel like walking anymore. So that was fun to deal with.

So do you leave him? Like, alright. I kept walking and I was like, come on. You should go to sleep. You're tired. And he's like, the papa, I don't want to walk anymore. That was my Gavin impression. Does he like turn to a baby, like a rattle up here the entire time? And then another funny story I have about Gavin, which I already told him about, because I wanted to see his reaction, but I figured like, if I waited till next week it would have been irrelevant. So I didn't get a do not disturb sign in my hotel room.

It just like wasn't. I think that happens. Yeah. I don't know, but there's still other people's. Yeah, this is exactly what I did. What's hanging on doors? Yeah. Oh, it's me.

So I was leaving my hotel room, and I didn't want them in my room because I had something like set up and I was like going to be back in a couple hours. And I passed by Gavin's room and he says he has his do not disturb sign. I'm just like oh I don't even think he's in his room I'll just put it on my door we're at dinner a couple hours later and Gavin was like so the maid walked in on me taking a shit it was in the oven so apparently me removing his do not strip sign about half an hour later a maid walked down him he had the door completely open it was just taking it. Oh my god.

And so they didn't knock or anything. Why wouldn't he close the door? Because he thought he had to close the door. I closed the door even if my sign's up. That's a little worse though. Because he's been door close. And then he walk out and they're like doing your bed like uh what? Like like no that's a cool thing about having a hotel room to yourself is you just being naked the whole time. You don't have to.

Yes. And open your mouth. You know that's the cool thing about owning a house. Oh yeah. Yeah. Until you're in an engine is on camera on the goddamn people. I'm pretty sure there are people that follow you around

Gus like maybe today's the day. Oh this randomly go up to random rooms. I'm pretty sure there are people following you around us like maybe today. Oh this randomly go up to random rooms. I guess so. Creepy. That is creepy. The hotel I stayed at in Australia had a cover on the inside of the people so we want to look out yet to like move the cover. One of those like like yeah. Yeah nice it made me feel safe and secure. I bet. So I can be naked all the time. Just jacking off like crazy. Yeah, so I don't know how to go. Breaking bads coming back. I was thinking about jacking off now. My best jacking off story. I don't know if I have jacking off stories I know I don't really the same yeah Chris is trying to I remember I think I was in middle school

You know I Got in a copy of a VHS tape for my friend And he's like alright you can take it but I get back so I was like alright well I'm gonna make a copy myself a VHS tape for my friend and he's like, all right, you can take it. But I did it back. So I was like, all right, well, I gotta make a copy myself. This is like, before we didn't have high-speed internet. So I like, cooked up two BCRs together and was like, copying one of them. And at some point I like, I fell asleep and my mom and my

brother came in and my brother started going to play video games and my mom was yelling at me to clean my room and my brother turns on the TV. And it's like my mom is, it's like there's three layers. I'm on the bed. My mom is here and then my brother behind me turns on the TV and it's just porn. And then he goes Like looked at me wide eyed and I go He just and then like he turned off the TV as my mom turned around Wow, and it was like one of those things. It was like time slowed down

One of the things like and then my brother just goes Oh, what was your brother I know too young to be like to the point where he was just like well the fact is a big thing I mean it was a long time ago the fact it was a BHS tape yeah I mean I mean I was a little while you weren't jacking off though like I was just jacking off so well it was like future jacking like a preparation thing you know just a piece you often masturbating. Nickname is your name. No.

I would get that one. That a lot when I was young, but I don't give a shit anymore. What if it was called guessing off? Yeah, I'd be like, what the fuck? I'm gonna go gust off right now. That sounds horrible. I never, I never, I never want to, please.

So I don't ever want to think of it as guessing off. Because it's like instantly off. I'm like, oh no, dear God, no, God, no. I don't ever want to think of it as gussing off because it's like instantly off I'm like, oh no dear god no, no I'm not gussing up What about cursing off? I do that Let's take a look what you do right my mom my mom found a shirt and it was a school bus with like a bunch of kids I'm like, you know stick figure drawings and there was like one figure hanging out mom found a shirt and it was a school bus with a bunch of kids, not like stick figure drawings.

And there was one figure hanging out of the bus waving and I said Jack and I had an arrow to him. And a kid was chasing him and I had a little quote underneath and I said stop the bus, let my friend Jack off. It's my mom bought it for me because it said my name. Oh my God. She was looking at us, she's only got it. And I was in high school at the time.

So I'm like really? And just completely oblivious to it. It's like, man, I love your mom. Do you have a room where did you just tell her? I may have worn it once, just like, you know, like, mom, wearing a shirt, you got me. It was just like, hey, mom, let's do both pose for a picture. Hey. My friend, Jackoff.

I wonder if this might be in my parents' house somewhere. I guess you wouldn't find that thing. Do you think you're going to find this control to bring it in? Yeah, I've, next time I'm out there, I'll look for it. You're on the podcast. Sure, I don't know if I can fit into it anymore, but I could Chris wear it on the podcast But yeah, I it's fun when parents are just the oblivious stuff So I was moms to like dads are usually hip because I like males usually

Yeah, what's also like like you know like I had a like I had a magazine when I was a kid, like I had stuff under my bed. My father absolutely knew I had that thing, right? Like he had to know I- He probably put it under your bed, like when you were changing your bed. Mugin your bed, like the porn fairy visiting. Well is this thing, like did you ever find your dad's porn stash? I don't think my dad had porn. Really? My dad's, you know how I'm a weirdo?

And I don't have good social skills. My dad's an alien. The dad's not in the same place. He's got a poor skin as a mile long. He's got a poor skin as a mile long. He's got a poor skin as a mile long. She's, he's got a poor skin as a mile long. She's, he's got a poor skin as a mile long.

She's, he's got a poor skin as a mile long. She's, he's got a poor skin as a mile long. She's, he's, he's got a poor skin as a mile long. She's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's, he's,? Um, my, uh, sorry, I won't get back to what you were saying, but that, that might be the thing of a, of a story. My dad's in law enforcement. Um, so when I was a kid growing up, we had like a radio in our house. So he could like communicate with other law enforcement people and, uh, uh, it like picked up multiple frequencies from different law enforcement agencies. So I grew up on the border. so it picked up like Border Patrol and the Sheriff's Department and a whole bunch of many different agencies.

So one time, one of my neighbors was visiting, we must have been like 10 years old and my dad always kept the radio on. And I think Border Patrol was radioing each other talking about illegal aliens and how they were trying to find some illegal aliens. And my neighbor, like turns to go Aliens are real No, it's illegal aliens you fucking His eyes got fucking huge he thought he had like discovered it

Stupid No porn stash no no no I who are you saying? No porn stash. No, no, no. I don't think he had a porn stash now. Chris, did you ever find a porn stash growing up? On my own. I looked like six and seven, you had your own? You were looking for a porn stash, just when you were six and seven. No, I was six or seven, but.

No, no. You know, you already heard one story of proliferation proliferation of this staff how old were you at that point i don't know what he's probably like twelve or thirteen i don't know who's talked about we talked about before on the podcast we talked about force porn yeah that i don't absolutely find it's not forced like what you've had a point of porn

i was taking out my trash uh... from my apartment in college and next to the dumpster was a Big chest. I'm like, oh, it's Inside were no, I know I know it's just like one of the things like that's why would someone throw out a chest And I opened it up and I swear to God the whole it was just full of porn Like I make light yeah, it was like the arc of the club It was like well. It's just like a virtue. Did you just like, I make light? Yeah, it was like the arc of the film. No, it was like, it was just like a virtual, the, my guest was someone had a girlfriend,

or made a girlfriend or whatever. I made my girlfriend. And then the girlfriend was like, you have an entire chest of porn and made him throw it out. Or his parents were coming to visit. Or, well, no, I mean, I feel like he could have locked it up or something or, you know, it was something it was like someone had collected, it was a collection. It wasn't something he threw away lightly because it was like,

was it out of the ordinary? It was, it was, it was an impressive collection of porn. Did you take anything from it? No, maybe. Well, let me, there's one other thing through it's like me my, I was like, I called- I called out my roommate, it's like, dude, we have a thing. We have a situation out here that needs to be investigated. So we brought it out and we carried it up and I'm like, huh? Like, they were like, rope-off together. We had to move around. Everyone's memory, that's it.

I mean, a lot of it was, you know, some of it was like, you know, a little sketchy, so we like, Like what? Some of it. What sketchy? I would sketchy porn. Yeah, what is sketchy porn? Just stuff, like, you know, old people, like old people porn, Uh,

Oh, peaky. Pregnant porn, just like stuff that's a little like, you know, not Like, for it stuff. Yeah, you know, and it's like, oh, you know, this guard this one, and let's move on deeper into the chest and see what we found. Was this all outside, or do you think the whole thing... No, no, we carried it back in at this point. So you weren't like, spreading it out.

You know, you get like, like, gloves, like we're gonna move the specimen inside. Well, honestly, you probably, it would be a good idea to wear latex gloves when you're digging through other people's porn you know this i said yeah no i agree it's like it we should have yeah we didn't but yeah nice do you think

like vhs tapes or what were these was it there were vhs the thing is at that point i didn't have a vhs player so there's some certain vhs tapes that were just like well so do you you think vHS poor tapes have a higher percentage of like dick germs than like anything else in the world? Well not more magazines. Poor magazines are normal magazines. I would say poor magazines. Poor magazines because they get, you know.

They're continually handled while they're. Yeah well handled and they get you know. They're in the way of fire. Yeah they get. They're in the sleigh handled while they're there in the way of fire. Yeah, they get they get they're in the line of fire Receptacles as Brennan put it in my ear. Yeah, thank you Brandon. Hopefully you didn't put it in. No, yeah, VHS is you know They're shady. Yeah, there's a there's a company central special by a A comedian called Kumail danjani under the scene him He recorded the special here in Austin actually went to the filming back in like October and November. And it's really funny. And he grew up in Pakistan.

And he tells a story about having a poor tape as a little kid in Pakistan and how the power used to always go out. And like the power dying one day. Oh no. With his poor tape in the VCR. I'm not gonna spoil the whole story, but you should definitely watch it. I think they're still playing on a company central, especially as called beta male.

Well, it's like when you think of VHS porn and magazine porn, it's like, that's like, it's like something you hand down to generation through generation. Ah! Good. Well, I wish I was just saying, my sister's face. hand down to generation through gen- ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah copy to another friend in middle school who then made a copy of it. So do you still have this VHS tape? No. I wonder what it looks like. First of all, I wonder what it is. Second of all, I wonder how much generation lost in the third album.

Well, this has gone through many generations of jerking. It's funny because people nowadays, I remember watching TV with a sensor bar going down the thing. You know, you have the channel but not really have the channel, it's like scrambled, and I try to get a hear kind of, yeah, the new generation will never experience that. Like, I mean, like Forest porn, the newest generation will never have to deal with that. You know, like porn just, it just goes on. I'm porn everywhere. I'm never had to deal with it.

Like it was a problem. Yeah, I think it poured on their phone. You know. But, all right. Well, we're worried about time here. So, it's time to wrap up. I feel like we had a good discussion about Dix and Gussing off. Is there anything going on this week that people should know about?
